Post-traumatique stress disorder (PTSD)

Post-traumatic stress disorder occurs as a result of a traumatic event experienced or seen. It is a member of the family of psychiatric disorders and can have real consequences in the daily life of the sufferer. It is usually triggered by an event that has generated intense emotion for the person, usually relating to death, pain or violence. It can affect all areas of life, both psychologically and physically, from a personal, relational and professional point of view. It is very difficult for people with this disorder to control their thoughts and reactions to certain situations. About 10% of the world’s population is affected by post-traumatic stress disorder. Anyone can be affected at some point.

SUMMARY

VIRTUAL REALITY TO OVERCOME PTSD

Virtual reality allows the traumatic event or place to be recontextualised. Being in an environment that will generate anxiety for the person because of their post-traumatic stress state, will allow you to work on the thoughts, beliefs and anxieties perceived directly in the environment. This work is done in a gradual and safe way, teaching you the methods to overcome this anxiety. Gradually the symptoms will diminish and the situation will no longer provoke particular anxiety.

« Virtual reality is 80% effective, with benefits that are maintained for more than a year after treatment. » Eric Malbos, Doctor Psychiatrist

C2Care, the world leader in therapeutic virtual reality (VR) since 2015, now allows you to expose yourself from your home. A psychologist will accompany you in your treatment using cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT) and virtual reality exposure to overcome your anxiety.

VIRTUAL REALITY ADAPTS TO YOUR PHOBIA

PUBLICS TRANSPORTS

Public transport such as the metro, bus or train can be a real source of anxiety and can be places that seem impossible to access when suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

PUBLICS PLACES

Suffering and anxiety can occur in different public places that may remind one of the traumatic event or by the fear of the other in a more general way.
This is why certain environments such as the train station, the supermarket, the airport or the cinema will allow us to work on the place, but also on the possible distressing presence of other people.

DRIVING

It is not uncommon for post-traumatic stress to arise after a car accident, either experienced or recounted, and to disrupt the ability to be comfortable on the roads.
This is why the motorway and tunnel environments will allow a gradual approach to the road, whether it be due to the density of traffic, the weather or the type of vehicle (truck, motorbike).

VIOLENCE

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) arises after an event that has put you in danger, resulting in physical or psychological injury.

The violence, whether it is done by those around you or by strangers, has significant consequences. It will therefore be possible to work on the Orient and Ville de Nuit environments.

OTHER

Trauma is linked to your own history and specific circumstances. This is why C2Maps will allow you to be in the exact location of your trauma to work on it.
It is also possible to be in a room environment in a basement and hospital.

Acrophobia, or fear of heights

Acrophobia, or fear of heights, is an excessive and irrational fear of being in high places or elevated locations. It is a specific situational phobia that can be debilitating in social, professional, and daily life. The treatment of acrophobia is essential to help individuals overcome this anxiety. This extreme anxiety is considered dysfunctional because it is not related to the actual danger of the situation. Panic can manifest in real or imagined situations. The treatment of acrophobia aims to reduce this panic and help individuals return to normal life. Between 2 and 5% of the population suffers from acrophobia, and women are twice as likely to be affected as men. Overcoming the fear of heights is a crucial goal for these individuals to reduce the negative impacts on their daily lives.

Social Phobias

Social phobia, or social anxiety, is a fear of certain social activities or performances. These are situations in which the person feels intense anxiety about possible negative judgment from others. This anxiety can significantly affect self-confidence, making any social interaction difficult. Public speaking is often a major source of stress for those suffering from social phobia, as they fear being observed, rejected, embarrassed, or humiliated, which triggers avoidance and isolation behaviors. This social phobia can lead to a lot of suffering and should not be taken lightly. In Europe, 2 to 4% of the population suffers from social phobia, and it is more prevalent among women than men. The consequences on self-confidence and the ability to speak in public can be severe, often requiring professional intervention to help individuals overcome their fears and improve their quality of life.
